06carbon8 paper mill shoot:lots of pics

I went out and got a few pictures today, nothing too special. I'll have a couple of the interior in a few days. installed new seats and an autopower rollbar, but i want to wait for the new harnesses before taking pics. let me know what you guys and girls think.

Other than those tow straps or whatever they are...it's pretty cool overall.

not necessarily my "style," but I would really like to see pics of the interior and how you mounted the roll bar. Also, how unbearably loud is it to you? Nice wheels though!

Great car, and those wheels.... Advan rules!
I would go for a different front bumper plus sideskirts.
Congrats!

i took the back seats out to mount the bar, then cut thin plywood to cover where the seatbacks would go. on top of that i glued black felt, and all over the bottom part of the rear seat pan. basically, everything in the rear of the car is black felt that matches the carpet almost perfectly. it's loud, but so is my stereo hahah. it doesn't really bother me. i'll get some interior pics tomorrow, so you can see.

Considering your aggressive look and the lots of cf, you could go with Varis cf skirts and the great (imo) cf rear diffuser. And clear corners! But it already looks good.

Saweet! What did you do with your back seats? Definitely need skirts.....and you might think about painting the hood. I've seen a few VR's that are painted with the same hood and it's awesome!

Could someone with photoshop skills put those on a BB? would be appreciated!

Looks better from a distance. Too much going on when you get up close. Why the arrows pointing to the straps on the front/rear of the car? Not feeling all the other decals either.

Pretty sick man. It's not my style, but I can appreciate it nonetheless. I can tell you have a lot of blood, sweet, tears, and hard earned dollars in that car.

So are you the ONLY person in the world to get the Carbon Creations front bumper to fit right?

Also, the seats look like Corbeau's? Are the comfy? I'm looking a good pair of racing seats that are hopefully large framed since I'm a pretty big guy

You have an "I (love) JDM" Sticker and still have orange sidemarkers.

yeah, i've also invented about 3000 combinations of swear words while working on the car you've probably never heard before either hahahah.

2997 of them were while working on the bumper. that thing was the most ill fitting piece of dogshit i have ever encountered. but, i loved the way it looked, and figured i'd do what it took. fortunately, my close friend with a 'speed protege has a friend who owns a body shop and has his own spray booth in his garage, so i was set. he did most of the work and i helped as much as i could. its not perfect but he did a damn good job.

seats are corbeau forzas, i love them, comfy as hell, i think they make the forza 2 and one other model that are a bit wider and the backrest is longer for taller people. they look pretty sweet.
